Hey guys, introducing myself.
Hello everyone, I just thought I would introduce myself...(sorry if this is in the wrong section, I wasn't sure where to post...)
I currently own a 1995 BMW 325is, but I intend to purchase a Honda sometime in the future (most likely an early model CRX or DC2 Integra) in order to really learn about automotive mechanics and participate in track events.
I've heard many good things about the Honda-Tech forums, and was recommended here by some of the guys from Bimmerforums.com as well as a friend I have on this board.
Hopefully I'll have a good time and learn a lot, thanks everyone!

Honda-Tech isn't quite as "high quality" as Bimmerforums, but it is as good as it gets for a Honda/Acura forum. Welcome, and be careful here. 
Buying an older Honda for a dedicated track car is a smart move. They're more affordable to run in HPDEs and track days than the E36 - replacement parts, consumables, and modifications are typically cheaper. Sure, the E36 is faster overall (I wish I could afford to campaign a 325 in SCCA ITS), but it also goes through expensive consumables quicker. As the old saying goes, "Speed costs money. How fast do you want to go?

I don't know, bimmerforums could only bring me so far...but all I really learn is solutions to common problems, not the theories behind things...the true tech stuff.
But I completely agree about having a Honda as a dedicated track car, the parts are very expensive on my E36. Although I wanted it to be a fast beast when I first got it, it's quickly becoming just something I want running at showroom floor condition, and just having as a weekend driver I suppose. I'm really still trying to decide what direction I want to go in...although I'm pressed to say that it is fast by any means...but when it comes to that I'm always comparing it to modern day vehicles, which are usually running 14's or 15's in factory trim, I'd say the day and age of the E36 is coming to a close....
For the ones in factory trim, anyways. They're still awesome cars, and great to make fast and powerful, but I'd rather work with something easier to work with and not so hard on the wallet.
Anyways, thank you all for the warm welcome, I can't wait to start contributing to the Honda-Tech community!
